“Learning About Myself”
In developing ideas for this paper, I have learned a lot about myself. I have learned that I am a lot more complex than I originally thought. I have a multitude of strengths and weaknesses and I think I could make a positive impact on the nursing world after graduation. I am in the process now of learning how to use my strengths for greater good and turn my weaknesses into something positive that I can use to build on. In order to discuss some of my strengths and weaknesses, I have to first tell you about why I wanted to become a nurse.
When I was growing up, I had a bit of a rocky childhood. I was bounced between parents a lot and moved so much it was hard to make, and keep, friends. At the age of five, I was left at my grandparent’s home for the weekend by a mother that never came back for me. She left the country and left me behind. From that point on, I was raised by my grandmother and grandfather. They were wonderful to me! They saw to it that I was raised with manners and instilled in me that education was very important. I always knew they chose to raise me and that made them very special in my life. I worked my entire life to be able to do for them like they had for me over the years and when I was 25 years old, I got the chance. My grandfather was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. His health deteriorated quickly and I...

...My opinion about about Marxism
I will start by saying I admire both the great Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels whom through their ideas and inspiration gave birth to Marxism.
Marx was a creative,idealist and a determinist scholar who was willing to change his mind when he's confronted with new ideas. I also believe that there were two Marx in the sense that the young Marx was more of revolutionist while the matured Marx was more of economist.
I wouldn't want to discuss in details about Marx's ideas but I believe that he was one of the greatest political scientist in the seventh century whose theories about society, economics and politics created the term Marxism. Marx basically believed that human societies progress through class struggle: a conflict between an ownership class that controls production and a proletariat that provides the labour for production. He called capitalism the "dictatorship of the bourgeoisie," believing it to be run by the wealthy classes for their own benefit; and he predicted that, like previous socioeconomic systems, capitalism produced internal tensions which would lead to its self-destruction and replacement by a new system: socialism. He argued that under socialism society would be governed by the working class in what he called the "dictatorship of the proletariat", the "workers' state" or "workers' democracy". He believed that socialism would eventually be replaced by a stateless, classless society called communism.

...About Psychopaths…
Psychopath is a term that is often herd in a wide variety of contexts but what does it really mean? Not to be confused with antisocial personality disorder, psychopathy is actually a more severe form of the former disorder. Sociopathy, as it is also known, is defined as “a psychological construct describing amoral and antisocial behavior.”[1] A psychopath is a person who “has deficits or deviances in several areas: interpersonal relationships, emotion, and self-control. Psychopaths lack a sense of guilt or remorse for any harm they may have caused others, instead rationalizing the behavior, blaming someone else, or denying it outright.”[2] A person suffering this disorder will exhibit behavior that does not accord with society’s laws and will lack a moral conscience that tries to control this unethical behavior.
Because Sociopathy is a personality disorder there are no physical symptoms but instead one must rely solely on obeserving behavior to identify the mental illness. Psychopaths behavior can be tracked to the early years of childhood. It is very common for children with this disorder to exhibit violence towards animals, bedwetting until a late age, and pyromania. It is possible for children who are not psychopaths to display these behaviors as well so they are not a good way to measure whether a person has the disorder or not. Among adults a clear lack of nervousness and worries acompanies a lack of delusinoal thinking. As a result psychopaths......

About intellectual Property
“Intellectual property”, this term was first proposed by the French scholar Karp Niyazov in the mid-17th century; after that it develop by the famous Belgian jurist Picardy, and Picardy defined it as “the right of every intellectual activity”. Until after the “world intellectual property organization” convention in 1967, this term became gradually use in the whole world.
The intellectual property basically means that people has the exclusive rights on their intellectual labor by law.

...pilgrimages to Vancouver, British Columbia, to buy his beans there. His point of reference for the beverage was dark, delicious coffee he had discovered in Italy. Soon Bowker, then a writer for Seattle magazine, was making runs for friends as well. When Seattle folded, two of Bowker's friends, Jerry Baldwin, an English teacher, and Zev Siegl, a history teacher, also happened to be seeking new ventures; the three banded together and literally built their first store--located in Seattle's Pike Place Market--by hand. They raised $1,350 apiece, borrowed another $5,000, picked the name Starbucks--for the punchy 'st' sound and its reference to the coffee-loving first mate in Moby Dick--then designed a two-tailed siren for a logo and set out to learn about coffee.
Siegl went to Berkeley, California, to learn from a Dutchman, Alfred Peet, who ran Peet's Coffee, which had been a legend among local coffee drinkers since 1966. Peet's approach to coffee beans became the cornerstone for Starbucks' reputation: high-grade arabica beans, roasted to a dark extreme by a trained perfectionist roaster. Starbucks bought its coffee from Peet's for its first nine months, giving away cups of coffee to hook customers. The plan worked. By 1972 the three founders had opened a second store in University Village and invested in a Probat roaster. Baldwin became the young company's first roaster.
Within its first decade, Starbucks had opened stores in Bellevue, Capitol Hill, and University Way. By 1982......

...Project Appraisal
Larsen & Toubro
Breakthrough Project
The Coimbatore Bypass Road Project
The Coimbatore Bypass was the first road project to be implemented in South India on BOT1 (build, operate and transfer) basis. The project was a pioneering initiative, which incorporated private sector participation and levy of toll on users to ensure sustainability in the long run. The road ran between Neelambur on the Salem side of NH-47 Tamilnadu and in Kerala2, Madukkarai on the Palghat side.
The project involved construction of a 28-km long two-lane bypass road, the 32.2m new Athupalam bridge across the river Noyal, the railway overbridge at Chettipalayam Tamilnadu and the maintenance of the old bridge at Athupalam, all in the state of Tamilnadu. Larsen & Toubro (L&T)3was authorized to collect and retain the fee from users of the new and old Athupalam bridges. The bypass was expected to ease the traffic congestion in Coimbatore city, Tamilnadu and the Salem-Cochin national highway running between Tamilnadu and Kerala. The shippers, mostly export oriented units relying on the Cochin port for shipments, were other major beneficiaries as transportation time could be saved using the new road.
Construction was started in January 1998 and completed in 22 months time. The Athupalam bridge was opened for traffic in December 1998 and the bypass became operative from January19, 2000. The project cost was about Rs.1.04 bn. The project concession period was for 12 years, and was......

...that customers are aware of the existence and positioning of products. Promotion is also used to persuade customers that the product is better than competing products and to remind customers about why they may want to buy.
There are different ways to promote a product in different areas of media. Promoters use internet advertisement, special events, endorsements, and newspapers to advertise their product. Many times with the purchase of a product there is an incentive like discounts, free items, or a contest. This is to increase the sales of a given product.
A promotional mix specifies how much attention to pay to each of the five subcategories, and how much money to budget for each. For the last part, a conclusion/recommendation section is added to formally end up the discussion.
Promotional activity aims in the transmission of information on products for sale, offering consumers and raising potential and turning them into actual buyers.

...Questions about the Volkswagen Scandal:
Volkswagen is embroiled in one of the biggest corporate scandals of recent years.
The German car maker has been installing “defeat devices “– software
that allows cars to cheat in emission tests, making them appear than they actually are.
What is Volkswagen accused of?
Volkswagen’s software allowed it to beat the tests in a lab, but when on the road with emissions controls switched off, cars would pump out nitrogen oxide (NOx) at up to 40 times the legal limit.
Crucially, the software “knew” when it was being tested, allowing it to switch emissions controls on and off.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found that many VW cars being sold in America had devices in diesel engines that could detect when they were being tested. The EPA’s findings cover 482,000 cars in the US only, including the VW- manufactured Audi A3, and the VW brands Jetta, Beetle, Golf and Passat.
Who is to blame?
It’s not yet clear who is responsible for fitting the cheating software. Martin Winterkorn, the German company’s chief executive, accepted responsibility when he resigned, but denied any wrongdoing on his part. Prosecutors in Germany have opened a criminal probe into Mr. Winterkorn. Mr. Winterkorn is replaced by Matthias Mueller, the boss Porsche.
Where did the incident happen and why did Mr. Winterkorn resign?
This scandal has happened in the United States of America. Mr. Winterkorn denied having any knowledge of the emissions......

...different soul music. Many songs and artist we know today have introduced us to this what we called soul music. In this paper I will talk about the some artist that has made an impact in today’s music and not only that, how African American music has affected history of our heritage.
Soul music is gospel-influenced African American popular music style that began to emerge in the late 1950s and became popular during the 1960s. (Maultsby, 277) There were many artist back in the day that made soul music very influential Ray Charles and James Brown was known for the similarity of having a black gospel back ground then transforming their sound into blues that lead to the sound of “soul music”. When the artist Sam Cook released a song call “A Change Is Gonna Come” it had a huge impact on the society because this was the time around the Civil Rights Movement. The Civil Rights Movement is a movement beginning in the late 1940s and blossoming in the late 1950s to the mid-1960s that pushed for equal rights for African Americans. (Maultsby, 277) In the year of 1964 when Cooks song came out he had died and there was a signing of the Civil Rights Act. Many people thought the song “A Change Is Gonna Come” had marked from rhythm and blues to soul. This songs is known as a gospel style. By just these three men singing the types of songs that were passionate about made a tremendous impact on how the world look at soul music today. Soul music is what I believe brings families together......

...recognized as not belonging to “their community”, to be labeled as part of a smaller group. We fight today to impose limits to a world in which yesterday people have fought so that it didn`t have any. And we applauded them.
We live in a world that, finally, recognizes all religions and beliefs and in which any person can choose his/her religion. People can worship any god, can praise the energy of nature that inspire them without feeling threatened or scared. It is the first time in history when people are not blamed for their beliefs. And we fought for this. But we now try to take this away from the people. We engage in holy wars or public mockery campaigns against the religions that we don`t understand. We shut our minds from knowing more about the people around us, their thoughts and beliefs. And we blame them for being different.
We live in a world that is capable of printing out tridimensional copies of almost any object. But, in the same world, 870 million people go to bed each night hungry. We live in a world torn between technological progress and human regress where we move forward just through our inventions, but not through our understanding of each other. We prefer today to invest in research for new Smartphones or the cure for boldness than in finding the cure for HIV/AIDS and feeding the world.
We live in a world that has never been such at peace as it is today. But still nations invest in arming themselves and preparing for the inevitable “next war”,......

...of jobs receive bonuses when they enlist: interpreter/translators, divers, cryptologic linguists, medical laboratory specialists and explosive ordnance disposal specialists. Bonuses average about $3,300-$3,500, compared to the $16,000-$18,000 bonuses the Army was paying on average in 2007-08. Re-enlistment bonuses for soldiers average about $7,500 (Baldor, 2012).
Where recruitment tactics shine brightest is in their ability prepare soldiers to go on to live professional/career-oriented lives after their time of service. For instance, there are many educational partnerships that already exist between branches of the Armed Forces and several of the nation's colleges and universities (Briscoe, 2000). Soldiers are offered college-level instruction at bases around the world, including both associate’s and bachelor's degree programs. Credits are transferable within the system of affiliated colleges and currently, the Army pays for approximately 75 percent of the tuition.
Overall, recruitment literature, messaging and tactics do a great job in emphasizing potential benefits: career interest and challenge, comradeship, physical training, travel and other opportunities. Recruitment could be improved, however, by better coverage of tougher topics that would-be recruits really want to know about—the radical change from a civilian to a military lifestyle, ethical issues involved in killing, strategies in place to safeguard physical and mental health (particularly in war times), and......
